Visa for Spouse of LPR California

23.07.2025 13:10:23 The V visa was created to allow families to reunite while they wait for their immigrant visas to become available. However, it's important to note that the V visa is largely obsolete today. The V visa was specifically designed for spouses and minor children of U.S. lawful permanent residents who had been waiting for more than three years after a Form I-130 petition was filed on their behalf before December 21, 2000. Since the eligibility criteria are tied to petitions filed before this date, most people cannot benefit from it today. If your husband has already filed a petition for you and your child, it's generally advisable to continue with that process. The current procedure involves waiting for the priority date on your petition (Form I-130) to become current according to the Visa Bulletin published by the U.S. Department of State. In some cases, if your husband becomes a U.S. citizen while you're still waiting, it could expedite the process as immediate relatives of U.S. citizens have visas immediately available. It's always best to consult with an immigration attorney or accredited representative who can provide guidance based on your specific circumstances and help explore any potential options you might have under current immigration laws and policies.

23.07.2025 18:11:17 The V visa is practically unavailable today—it only applies if the I-130 petition was filed by a lawful permanent resident on or before December 21, 2000 and has been pending for at least three years. Since your husband filed after 2000, this option is no longer viable. Instead, the best route is to wait under the F2A category (spouse and minor child of a green card holder), file Form I-130, and proceed once your priority date is current. It may be slower, but it is the correct pathway now available.

23.07.2025 18:28:33 While the V visa still exists in law, it's effectively dead for most applicants, as it's limited to I-130 filings submitted on or before December 21, 2000. Because your husband's petition was filed after that date, you do not qualify, and the V visa won’t help. Your practical course is the standard F2A family preference—submit the I-130, wait for your visa number to become current, and then complete consular processing or adjustment of status.
